effort is the ultimate test of desire
cc Today is All You Get
Empty desire is next to worthless.
If wanting doesn't lead to action, it's merely fantasy.
Don't confuse the feeling of wanting something for the reality of trying to get it.
Until you apply yourself to something, incrementally renewing it into your reality, you can't truly know how much you want it.
Be wary of desires that center around outcomes and finish lines.
desire is honed through specificity.
